Hey!

I tried it already but it seems like there is something wrong when it 
tries to copy the kernel. All I get is the following 

boot -f bootp():/netbsd.IP32
Setting $netaddr to 10.0.0.5 (from server 10.0.0.2)
Unable to execute bootp():/netbsd.IP32:  invalid argument
Unable to load bootp():/netbsd.IP32: ``bootp():/netbsd.IP32'' is not a 
valid file to boot.

Here is my configuration:

dhcp:

subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

        host o2 {
                hardware ethernet 08:00:69:02:ef:b8;
                fixed-address 10.0.0.5;                # Adjust
                #filename "/netbsd";                    # XXX Do NOT set!
                option root-path "/home/o2/root";
                server-name="10.0.0.2";
        }
}

rarpd:

8:00:69:02:ef:b8 o2

o2 points to 10.0.0.5

bootparamsd:

o2 root=10.0.0.2:/home/o2/root gateway=10.0.0.1:0xffffff00

I am able to tftp the netbsd.IP32 image from a sun server I have on the 
same subnet. Any suggestions ?
